Copy of R. Moshe Galante, author of Berach Moshe. On endpaper, his handwritten inscriptions attesting that he sold the book to a rabbi of Persia, along with blessings for the purchaser of the book:
"This book is mine, Moshe Galante son of R. Mordechai Galante, and I sold it to R. Mulla Abba Yaakov of the family of R. Moshe Mashiach, this part along with Part II, for his son R. Mari to study. May G-d grant him the merit to study from it, both him and his offspring and his offspring's offspring. May G-d open for him gates of life, gates of blessing, gates of lengthy days and years, Amen".

Another handwritten ownership inscription opposite title page of "Yissachar son of R. Menashe" and "his son… Eliyahu son of R. Yissachar Nelilo", and "Rachamim son of R. Azariah Nelilo". On bottom of title page, inscription (hollow letters in black frame): "Pinchas".

On title page and p. 77b of Part II, ownership inscriptions in Oriental (Persian) script: "Eliezer son of Avraham Katan"; "Eliezer Katan".

A few glosses in Oriental script (two in characteristic Persian script) on Levush Ateret Zahav, in one of which (p. 5b) the writer mentions what he heard from "the emissary of Safed R. Moshe Menashe…". Additional glosses on pp. 26b, 140a.

On blank leaf between the two parts is a handwritten copying of Deracheinu Lechol Shanim, a poem on leap years, by R. David Vital, with commentary of R. David Kohen of Djerba from his Shirei David. The writing continues a bit to the title page of Levush Ateret Zahav.
